ELECTRIC CABIN (2006)
Together Again
Won’t you come down when the day is done
Sun’s on the other side of town
I think I see the stars and the moon and they’re spinnin’ me around
But I’m aglow…I’ve been covered in gold
In the heart of the country man
And I feel the hands of love and they’re drawin me in
And it feels real good to be back here again - Together again
And I’m amused ‘bout the way things come
I don’t know where they start and where they end
So I keep comin down this road to try and find you now and then
And it feels real good to see you here again ….. Together Again (3x)
Bridge: I’ve been hangin out uptown
And when the day gets done I tend to look around
I see the stars shinin bright
I guess I’ll stay right here tonight
Yeah let’s all stay right here tonight….
Won’t you come down when the morning sings
Won’t you come down and settle in
I know where you’re goin and I sure do know where you been
Chorus
Settle Down
Well I got some time….‘fore I must get going
The sun is sinking in….
and half of my life….I seen a river flowin
and never know from where it’s been
Gotta settle down……settle down….settle down Louie
You see the morning come around….far from Philly
Gotta settle down …. Louie won’t you settle down
Just a country plumb….In the end of summer
Barely holding on the vine….
When the morning come….and I tend to wonder...
Will today be a good time
Just to settle down……settle down….settle down Louie
See the morning come around….far from Philly (and the days get chilly)
Gotta settle down …. Louie won’t you settle down
Bridge: its not like I’m lazy….it’s just that I had enough
it’s not like I’m crazy…..crazy as the stars above
and all my life..you know I’ve only run around…run around
I got half a mind….just to run for cover
Got half a mind to roam
But all the skies….are filled of thunder
….oh and its turning me on back home
FROGGY
Frog went courtin’ and he did ride. Goin uptown on a moonride
To a country shack on the roadside. Looked around then he went inside (3x)
And the joint was jumpin - Goin round and round
At the country shack - In the uptown
Frog went courtin and he did ride - With a sword and a pistol by his side
Gone all day and every night - Even left his ma and his young bride
Cause the joint was jumpin - to and fro
At the country shack - On the side of the road
So along come mama with the young sweet bride - Gonna get that boy on the good side
With an angry look and a steady eye - She went to the shack on a Saturday Night!
Where the joint was jumpin - Off the wall
And that’s the time when mama come through the door….
Hey… little child don’t you know now what you done
Hey… little child you’re my one and only son
Don’t you know you got a good girl, cryin every night
Come back home to mama, gonna make it alright…..
Frog went courtin and he did ride - Goin back home on a moonride
Found his house and went inside - Looked around and to his surprise (3x)
Well the joint was jumpin! - Goin round and round
And the joint was jumpin - All over the ground
And the joint was jumpin - Look at what he found! 10 little frogs!!
And the joint was jumpin - Movin to and fro
And the joint was jumpin - Little did he know
And the joint was jumpin - Only goes to show…
What you need….you might find…..In your home sweet home
PHOENICIA
Today and tomorrow
When you come to tell
Feel no pain or sorrow
Only love will find you doin well
Light a flame for the sunshine
Pull a rose for the dead
Come find your taste for the moonshine
Let it roll roll roll up to your head…..ah to your head
Chorus
And all the years go rollin by
Let em roll roll round the bend
Gonna keep my eyes on old Phoenicia
Cause she may never come again
So calm me down with some of your sweet love
Cause all our dreams are comin true
And I was bound just to meet ya
Now I’m runnin home to you….I’m comin back to you
Chorus
And all the years go rollin by
Let em roll roll round the bend
Gonna keep my eyes on old Phoenicia
Cause she may never come again
And all the years go rollin by
Let em roll roll round the bend
Gonna keep my eyes on old Phoenicia
Cause she may never come again
NEW BEGINNING
Way down south that’s where I wanna go
Way way down over yonder
To a place that I used to know
Cause I would go there in the winter
When I had a love she filled my eyes
Just like a sun in stormy weather
I seen a good day come to pass me by
Oh but now I’m feelin fine and I’m getting better
But here we go we’re riding in the rain
Love will come and love will go
While we all stay the same
So I’ll be rollin out with the southern wind
I seen a sign of love come a rollin in…rollin in
I’m gonna wake at the break of dawn
I’m gonna find a new beginning
Then I’m gonna play..oh and you can play along
I got a tune and it’s ripe for the singin
But here we go we’re lonesome in the end
Spent half my life just a waiting for love
Now I hope it comes again
Chorus
Bridge: And a day may come when I’ll settle down
But I’ve always been a dreamer
Gonna look a little farther
Gonna dig a little deeper
And here we go we’re lonesome in the end
Spent half my life just a waiting for love
Now I hope it comes again
GOLDEN BLUE
I got the golden blue
On a ruby night
I seen a yellow moon gonna make it right
I got the golden blue
On a silver sea
Looks like tomorrow is making its move on me
I seen a midnight sun
With the golden glare
Wanna close my eyes but I stop and stare
I seen the sunshine comin
With the golden blue
Looks like I’m runnin but I’m headin on back to you
Like the old moon on the hill
You’re the only light I see
Oh I love you still
So hold your love for me
I got the golden blue
On a ruby night
I seen a yellow moon gonna make it right
I got the golden blue
On a silver sea
Looks like tomorrow is making its move on me
Chorus (2 x )
INSPIRATION
Got the Inspiration… comin down the line
Got the Inspiration… of a grand ole time
I was lonely and low…now I’m up so high
Cause my baby’s comin back gonna have me a real good time
Born in Philadelphia… raised in Idaho
Ain’t no need to tell you…where I wanna go
Down to Moonlight Junction…out on Highway 9
well my baby’s comin back on the last train midnight ride
So won’t you let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll
On back to me
Cause the sun’s coming up in the night
And my baby’s comin back on the last train midnight ride.
Got the inclination…just to change my mind
If I do what I should…then maybe it could
Be different this time…like the light of a blue star
On the Fourth of July…well my baby’s comin back
And the light’s gonna bright the sky
Chorus
Won’t you call my mama.. call my papa too
Won’t you call on the good lord…before he calls on you
Got the inspiration… like a heavenly light!
And my baby’s coming back everything’s gonna be alright
HOBO
Coal train come around
Old coal blowin that roller around
High atop was the moonlight shinin down
Come stealin all the rails
Dealin all of them Oregon trails
They say the dead can moan when the whistlin fails
Now most ya’ll never seen
A lonesome hobo as lonesome as me
But I got a look at the roller Jubilee
She was caught in the moonlight
Caught on the rail of the northern line
Singin a song I heard from the countryside
Ahh my head’s on heavy and my heart’s growin darker
I seen the big train comin round the bend
Well you don’t mind me cause I aint that smart now
I’m just a loser on the mend
Bridge: Seems like everyone sings a lonely song
About a love that’s come and gone…away….
CHEYENNE
I seen orange in the hillside
Rubies in the fall
And if I don’t see the sunshine
I’m gonna wait a little more
Gonna lay below the wintertime
Keep a warmin up my shoes
And her love is holdin me sweeter than my booze….ah than my booze
Then the morning come round swiftly
Keep a rollin down the hill
And there aint no way of knowin me
Till you right now how I feel
Cause I seen the painted dessert
And I seen the open sea
I’m gonna pray to the sun…..sing to the breeze….ahh to the breeze
And I thought that I’d die lonely
Beneath that Cheyenne moon
And I feigned her love to keep
And I called her Ida June
Cause her eyes were lookin forward
To the leavin in the cold
Where you wait your days for the changes taken hold….and they’re taken hold
Ooh I’ve seen the changes taking hold
Ooh…..
I seen orange up in the hillside
Rubies in the fall
And if I don’t see the moonshine
I’m gonna sing a little more
And it’s eight below in the wintertime
I keep a warmin up my shoes
And to pray for change is the only way I’ll lose…..
the Cheyenne blues (3x)
ONE OF THESE DAYS
One of these days,
I’m gonna sit down and write a long letter
To all the good friends I’ve known
And I’m gonna try
And thank them all for the good times together.
Though so apart we’ve grown.
One of these days,
I’m gonna sit down and write a long letter
To all the good friends I’ve known
One of these days, one of these days, one of these days,
And it won’t be long, it won’t be long.
And I’m gonna thank,
That old country fiddler (banjo player)
And all those rough boys
Who play that rock ’n’ roll
I never tried to burn any bridges
Though I know I let some good things go.
One of these days,
I’m gonna sit down and write a long letter
To all the good friends I’ve known
One of these days, one of these days, one of these days,
And it won’t be long, it won’t be long.
One of these days,
I’m gonna sit down and write a long letter
To all the good friends I’ve known
One of these days, one of these days, one of these days,
And it won’t be long, it won’t be long.
One of these days, one of these days, one of these days,
And it won’t be long, it won’t be long.
And it won’t be long, it won’t be long.
And it won’t be long, it won’t be long.
